So do all those that do not wear their masks …. No reports on those people being apprehended and charged, and in the case of being a tourist, deported.

Elsewhere in "the news" it is reported that the case was closed yesterday: the BKK-S municipal court imposed a fine of THB 2000 and the Israeli tourist is now in custody awaiting deportation.

He got away too easy. Very stupid action of this man. 

Fine only 2,000 when they mobilized a costly manhunt?

Confined locally, rather than IDC?

And blacklisted(?) or not for ? years?

The Christmas spirit must have been in use here.

The Israeli broke the immigration department entry requirement, it's a different cattle of fish.

This tourist should have been severly punished as a point to other tourists thinking of doing these stupid things. A term of imprisonment for no less than 2 years with hard labour and a fine of 1 million Baht to be paid in full before being released from custody. This would send a clear message to respect the Laws in Thailand and have respect for the people to whom you come to visit. Also stamp his International File with a " Never To Return " to Thailand.

So this can also be the fine for those that ride with no license, no helmets, not wearing masks, and untold other misdemeanours ….. if this is your fine for the stupid, I cannot fathom what you would suggest for the well heeled and planned out criminal?

I would have thought a bloke just waiting for a Covid test result does not need an armed guard, as it was just a few hours wait..🥴

Some folks aren't familiar with the word 'patience'.

Well....I guess he'll be going home to face the Israeli Police and probable incarceration. Time for a bit of personal responsibility. 

No, the Israeli authorities wont take any action against him

But for a short time he did become familiar with the word “patient” ….. the noun not the adjective.

There is a whole spectrum of crimes in TH ranging from littering to murder. I don't think we would expect to see all those crimes punished uniformly. 

Your implied equivalence here, is comparing someone who doesn't wear a mask, with someone who broke immigration law. Do you really think they should receive the same penalty?

I have just been informed by the hotel for my upcoming trip to Phuket, that I am required to stay within the hotel until I've received news of a negative test. However, if I have not received this within 9 hours of arrival, I am free to leave the hotel as long as I return. 

I know CM is not Phuket, but I do wonder if one of the probs is that not all staff may be conversant with the rules that apply in their areas.

But there is another consideration. It appears that you think there is hypocrisy because staff in CM did not prevent guests behaving illegally. I can understand a claim of negligence, but where is the hypocrisy? Were they actively encouraging guests to break the law? Maybe the real culprits are those who want to excuse this bad behaviour by blaming Thais?
